Something else to consider.
While XJT is a bit of a gamble you will still have the option in a year or two to leave and go someplace as a DEC. It can be tough to read these things, but regionals will still probably be poaching high time FOs for a few years.

Even at half in terms of new FOs means 12 new captains per month on top of those that are being sucked up by United through CPP.
Many months like that and you will be caught up.

Even at It's peak in hiring and upgrading, the least desirable turboprop upgrade was 10 months. Guess what? No DECs, and everyone who wanted to could upgrade, in seniority order. We were training north of 60 new hires per month and no need for DECs during a time we were accepting 3 new jets per month. The 175 is going very senior.
